I lived there a bit, and later visited regularly, throughout the 70s. We may have crossed paths (Oh, were you the bastard that cut me off on the Ridge of Bell that fine spring morning, ha)
"Did my SCI at Cobb Mountain the summer or fall of '74. I remember sticking my thumb out at the intersection of Brush Creek Rd. and Hwy. 82" For a bit I worked in Smowmass but lived near town and thus I used to daily hitchhike down hwy 82 and back daily. (Hitchhiking is such a great thing, environmentally sensible, economic, sociable. Too bad it has met its demise.) And fall of 74, I was driving from SB MIU to FF, the grand migration. Stopped in Aspen for a day or so and saw old friends (one of which was also a TM junkie). (Hey, were that guy we picked up leaving town, ha) (And I had done six weeks at Cobb earlier that spring.) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray1" <steve.sundur@...> wrote: > > > Did not live there.
